Guild Wars 2

So untill now I have read and done nothing with the living story but anet talks so much about it I want to try it can I still join in and where and how can I get started is there like a direction?

hi there. just wait for todays update and join then. Its the Bazar of four Winds patch, so there will be a new zone you can access from Lions Arch. Then open your Achievement panel and look what there is to do and what rewards you can get. Do the missions, and explore the small new zone.

there are also Herald NpCs in all cities, you can ask them whats going on and they tell you. and a notification system that comes via ingame mail.
